In the exact words of two boys from Bath, "Shout, shout. Let it all out. Metal Hurlant I can't live without."

Happy . Here is the very first cover of the original run of Metal Hurlant drawn by the legend himself, published in February of 1975.

METAL HURLANT is not just about glorifying the past: it's about creating a dialogue; decontextualizing and recontextualizing; pairing elements that have chemical, or better yet, violent reactions to one another in the petri dish of the page; it's about recording pivotal moments in the history of sequential art, and reinvigorating them with proximity to brand new stories from creators all around the world.

So for today's , we're highlighting work NOT by Mœbius, but instead, the artist whose short story "Red Planet Tomatoes" follows Mœbius' iconic "Is Man Good?" in METAL HURLANT ISSUE 1: OLD DREAMS, YOUNG VISIONS.

Here is what James Stokoe had to say about his placement in Issue 1: “I’d say I’m about 75% flattered to be following a Mœbius strip, and 25% horrified! ....The seeming ease of Moebius’ cartooning continues to border on the supernatural for me, even after devouring his work for over twenty years. There’s always something new to learn staring at his pages; even his simplest strips are an education… And that kick to the bum in the second-to-last panel has no right to be that funny!”

"The revival of Metal Hurlant is much more than simply relaunching a comics magazine, but nothing short of an attempt to rekindle the fire of avant-garde experimentation and storytelling that blazed so brightly in the pages of the original anthology for a new generation.

"'The Metal Hurlant that we created in 1975 with Dionnet, Mœbius, and all those who joined us was a cultural manifesto,' Philippe Druillet says. 'Just like the Surrealists, the Dadaists, the 19th-century Symbolists, the Impressionists, and others. It became a cultural movement that has continued to grow over the years, and today, with this English edition publishing work by creators from around the world, it lives on more vibrantly than ever.'” —The A.V. Club

“For fifty years, Humanoids has championed visionary storytelling that pushes the boundaries of graphic narrative. From our origins in France to our global presence today, we’ve built a legacy of artistic innovation and cultural impact that transcends borders and generations. Bringing Metal Hurlant to English-language readers in its authentic quarterly anthology format represents a perfect celebration of our anniversary — honoring our roots while embracing our future. This isn’t merely a translation but a cultural bridge, offering today’s readers the same sense of discovery and artistic revolution that defined the original publication.” —Humanoids CEO and Metal Hurlant Publisher Fabrice Giger said to

“I created ‘The Incal’ with Mœbius in Metal Hurlant 45 years ago, and it has since become one of the most widely read science fiction comics in the world,” Jodorowsky told Variety. “Metal Hurlant was the perfect place for it, as it was — and still is — more of a cultural movement championing artistic freedom and bold creative risks than it was a mere comic book anthology. The world desperately needs such a movement right now, so I am glad to see it expanding its reach.” —Alejandro Jodorowsky to Variety

The founders of Metal Hurlant, from left to right: Jean-Pierre Dionnet, Jean Giraud aka Mœbius, and Philippe Druillet (1975).

As Rob Salkowitz of Forbes Magazine puts it:

"If you’ve experienced any cutting edge science fiction/fantasy of the last 50 years, from Alien and Blade Runner to Love, Death and Robots, you probably know Metal Hurlant, the legendary illustrated magazine that came roaring out of France in the mid-70s, even if you’ve never heard its name. Now, following a successful crowdfunding campaign, the magazine’s original publisher Humanoids is reviving an English-language edition for the first time in decades, kicking off with a special 50th anniversary issue hitting the streets June 17, 2025.

"'Three guys – Jean-Pierre Dionnett, Philippe Druillet and Jean Giraud (aka Moebius) created this magazine to express themselves, to do things they couldn’t do anywhere else,” says Fabrice Giger, publisher of Humanoids, in a phone interview earlier this month. “It inspired many, many creators not only in comics and literature, but in movies, entertainment, media and technology'

"The fruit of that bounty is obvious in the resulting edition. The first issue combines the best of its classic era with work from international creators, including many Americans, that brings the same combination of edgy ideas and gorgeous artwork. The first issue features material by international contemporary figures like Matt Fraction, Afif Khaled, Derf Backderf, Peter Snejbjerg, Yang Weilin and Matthew Allison alongside classics from Druillet, Dionnett, Gal, Schuitten, Jodorowsky, Caza, and of course Moebius. It runs 272 pages, square bound in full color on quality paper, distributed to bookstores and comic book shops."
